Method: Cooking

Course: Breakfast

Servings: 6 Pancakes

Ingredients

1 and ¼ cups quick cooking oats gluten-free
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
¼ cup hemp seeds
1 count banana ripened
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 and ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a blender (preferably a high speed) add all the ingredients one by one and blend it into a smooth batter.
Transfer the batter to a medium size bowl and set aside for at least 5-10 minutes, so that the oats will soak up the liquid and we will have a thick batter.
Heat a pan/griddle. Once it is warm enough add about ¼ cup of the flourless pancake batter to the pan. You will see air bubbles forming indicating that it is getting cooked. Flip it over and cook it for another minute or so.
Repeat it for the rest of the batter and serve these gluten-free banana pancakes warm with maple syrup. Top it with sliced banana and nuts to make it extra special.

Notes

I added a considerable quantity of hemp seeds to up the protein content of these gluten-free banana pancakes. You can omit it and use oats instead.
You can also use your choice of sweetener, milk, oil, and spices to suit your taste and preferences.
My batter became a bit thick for the above measurement after I left the batter for about an hour and a half. I think that's also the reason that the pancakes sort of had a dull color because of the browning of the bananas as I didn't make the pancakes immediately after the batter was ready. Don't let the appearance fool you because the pancakes tasted great. To get a better consistency of the batter I added a few tablespoons of water, but make sure that you don't dilute it too much. Thick pancakes need thick batter.
